I have earned a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting from the University of South Florida, a Masters of Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting from Florida Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction - Higher Education Administration from the University of South Florida. As you can see I "love to learn". I believe that continuing your education throughout life is both "stimulating" and "fun" and can be achieved with "persistence" and "patience". While earning my degrees, I have spent approximately eight years on auditing, consulting and tax engagements for an international and a large local accounting firm and approximately five years as a cost control and pricing administrator in the defense industry. I can relate to the challenges of budgeting time for work, family, and school. Thus I find on-line and hybrid (blended) instruction to provide the flexibility needed to reach these goals. I enjoy sharing my profession and encourage each of you to consider accounting as a profession. * Member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
